Postdoc position for Developing new and Stable Iridium based Electrocatalysts for Water Splitting...

Technical University of Denmark (DTU)

  • Copenhagen, Hovedstaden, Denmark
  • Professor Ib Chorkendorff

In a broad EU-collaboration, partly funded by Innovation Fund Denmark, on Advanced Membranes for Porous transport Layers and Electrodes (AMPLE), we are aiming at developing viable Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolysers for water splitting producing hydrogen. Current technology works but relies on the scarce and expensive Iridium and a goal it therefore to further develop the technology making savings on the Ir-loading and at the same time enhance it stability towards corrosion. We have a successful record of investigating new and stable Iridium-based nanoparticles for the oxygen evolutio

Postdoc in micromagnetic modeling of new rare-earth-free permanent magnet

Technical University of Denmark (DTU)

  • Copenhagen, Hovedstaden, Denmark

At the Technical University of Denmark, Department of Energy Conversion and Storage (DTU Energy) we are looking for a postdoc to work on micromagnetic modeling of a novel rare-earth-free permanent magnet system. 205 years ago, the founder of the Technical University of Denmark, Prof. H.C. Ørsted, discovered electromagnetism. Since Ørsted’s initial discovery, magnets have become omni-present in our daily life, and they are essential in the green transition as the main components in wind turbines and electric motors in e.g. electric cars. However, the strongest magnets today contain rare-earth m

Postdoc in Focusing Neutron Optics

Technical University of Denmark (DTU)

  • Copenhagen, Hovedstaden, Denmark

Are you motivated by physics challenges that, if they are solved, may have a large impact on what science can be done in the future? Do you master the principles of optics? Are you motivated by solving experimental designs combining analytical approaches and computer simulations? Are you inspired by designing challenging neutron instruments? This postdoc project is part of a research project funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, where we will develop and implement a focusing neutron optics prototype. Neutrons are inherently excellent probes for materials science and biotechnology; however, ne

Postdoc in Experimental Optical Materials Discovery – DTU Physics

Technical University of Denmark (DTU)

  • Copenhagen, Hovedstaden, Denmark

DTU Physics seeks a talented and motivated postdoctoral researcher for a 2-year position in experimental nanophotonics and optical materials discovery. The goal is to identify, characterize and utilize emerging optical materials with high refractive index and low losses, that can enable more efficient light trapping in nanostructured thin-film solar cells. Your role will focus on the experimental determination of the optical properties of promising materials identified in collaboration with researchers across the project. A central activity will be to develop and apply imaging ellipsometry for
